World cricket has been destroyed by every thing in favor of batsmen, most times i root for bowlers regardless of their nationality.

Thats is fine. And I think that it is a myth that world cricket has been destroyed in favour of batsmen. Remember even now batsmen take just one ball to get out, whatever the format might be, wherever the match is being played.

Did you watch the first test best Australia and SA earlier this year at Wanderers?It was fantastic.

I feel you are a bit too serious about every issue. :|

Quite serious you may say. This is the best opportunity to have a look at your future prospects.

there will always be exceptions which prove the rule.

Good day for the Vixen bowlers - McKay 6/75 and Holland a couple as well.

Cricinfo...

the Australians finished in a strong position they received some bad news with the fast bowler Burt Cockley ruled out of the second and final four-day match due to a gluteus medius tear

So Cockley is gone in the arse...

to be replaced by Luke Buttersworth aka Butters. Shouldn't they be rewarding another fast bowler like Magoffin?

Naved Arif seems to be injured

Who is Mckay? Quick?

PAK have lost 3 wickets on the final day

AUS A have 62 more overs to get the remaining 7

They have just one session to take the rest of 6 wickets. I think Pakistan A will be able to hold up for a draw easily.

Match ends in a draw Pak A 207/5 in the second innings with Akmal 100* off 111 balls, and Ahmed 50* off 48 balls

early-mid 130s tops.

hmm...then he needs to quicken up


Seems like an awesome innings from Kamran's brother Umar.

100 of 110 balls as PAK A easily save the game.

Good to see Sarfraz doing well with the bat now

Australia A v Pakistan A, Townsville, 4th day

Umar shines with century in draw

Australia A 399 and 5 for 256 (White 77, Paine 54*) drew with Pakistan A 338 and 5 for 207 (Umar Akmal 100*, Sarfraz Ahmed 50*)
Scorecard

Umar Akmal scored his fourth first-class century as the match between Pakistan A and Australia A petered out to a draw in Townsville. Chasing an unlikely 318 for victory, Pakistan finished on 5 for 207 with Umar unbeaten on 100 and Sarfraz Ahmed on 50.

Umar, the younger brother of the Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal, struck 11 fours and two sixes in his 110-ball innings but despite his speed the target was too great. Clint McKay added two second-innings wickets to his six from the first innings, while the spinners Jason Krejza and Jon Holland were both expensive.

Australia's second innings was anchored by the captain Cameron White, who made 77. He was assisted by the wicketkeeper Tim Paine, who finished on 54 not out when the Australians declared at 5 for 256.

The teams remain in Townsville for a second four-day match, which begins on Friday. They then head to Brisbane for three one-day matches and a Twenty20 game.

Interesting contest.

When will they have the next match and where?
Why doesn't Australia offer the main venues to the A teams, since there is no domestic cricket going on?

In order to generate interest in the game, CA likes to take the game to regional areas that don't normally get international fixtures.

And it's too bloody cold in most places down south anyway.

PAK A bowled AUS A out for 230


Now PAK A are 2/26 in 4 overs

interesting figures for Bollinger so far

Good to see Bollinger do well, i knew he was quite quick and skillful


Umar Akmal is still there
He may turn in to a man of crises just like his brother Kamran.

Another century for Umar Akmal. Maybe this guy is the real deal?

Isn't he a WK too? There was an interview of their father where he said inshallah he'd like to make wicket keeping for Pakistan a family job, or something very similar.
